For many people, the illegalization of abortion means saving unborn babies; however, local obstetrician/gynecologist Ph.D. John Bruchalski says it as much about women in crisis.
Bruchalski spoke at the Students for Life sponsored event on Monday called "A Man on a Mission." He spoke of his former life as an OB/GYN who performed many abortions, sterilized patients and prescribed various forms of contraception, and his subsequent conversion.
"As a gynecologist, I contracepted everyone, I wanted to do this full blown," said Bruchalski. "I was sterilizing 20 women a week."
But after an experience visiting the shrine of Our Lady of Guadalupe in Mexico City and the Medjugorje site in Bosnia-Herzegovina, he decided to refocus his medical career.
"My life came tumbling down," said Bruchalski. "I told my employer I could not make embryos anymore, I couldn't sterilize."
Following his conversion Bruchalski founded the Tepeyac Family Center in Fairfax, VA in 1994 which provides affordable alternative healthcare for women, especially those with crisis pregnancies.
Also a part of Tepeyac Family Center is his organization called Divine Mercy Care which provides spiritual and corporal works of mercy in the DC metro area. It was declared the first Catholic health care facility in the Diocese of Arlington.
Bruchalski works extensively with the national pro-life movement and offers women alternatives to abortion. Alternatives include assistance in the adoption sector, support services for financially burdened mothers, and the offering of other solutions that discourage mothers from choosing an abortion.
"There is no choice for women who abort," said Bruchalski. "Ask any woman and she will tell you she had no choice. We can offer choices."
